Cid - Luck EX

When Alpha turns her gaze back to Grease, there’s no one in sight. Well, more accurately, there’s a rectangular hole in his place, leading to a lower level of the facility—a trapdoor.

“…He got away.”

“Yeah…let’s go after him,” Beta responds, ready to leap in behind him.

Alpha stops her in the nick of time. “That won’t be necessary. He’ll take care of it.”

“He…? Now that I think about it, Master Shadow said he’d go ahead of us… No way.”

“Yeah. I have to admit I was worried he’d get lost when he sprinted down a different route.” Alpha giggles.

“He knew this would happen… He’s done it again.”

Their eyes glow with respect as they peer down the hole together.

“I’m lost,” I mumble to myself in an empty underground facility.
